Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for enabling cold temperature performance of a disk.
- Direct access storage devices or hard drives
- Disk drive units often incorporating stacked, commonly rotated rigid magnetic disks for example, are used for storage of data in magnetic form on the disk surfaces. Data may be recorded in radially spaced data information tracked arrays on the surfaces of the disks.
- Transducer heads driven in a path towards and away from the drive axis write data to the disks and read data from the disks.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of a data storage disk file 100 that includes a magnetic disk drive unit 102 and interface control unit 114 .
- Magnetic disk drive unit 102 includes at least one disk 116 having at least one magnetic surface 118 which may be contained within a disk drive enclosure 122.
- the disk 116 may be mounted for rotation on and by integrated spindle motor assembly 126 .
- Information on each magnetic disk surface 118 may be read from or written to the disk surface 118 by a corresponding transducer head assembly 128 which may be movable in a path having a radial component across the rotating disk surface 118 .
- Each transducer head assembly 128 may be carried by a suspension arm assembly 130 .
- the suspension arm assemblies 130 are bundled together for simultaneous pivotal movement by actuator coil motor 132 co-operating with an internal magnet and core assembly.
- Drive signals applied to the actuator coil motor 132 cause the suspension arm assemblies 130 to move in unison to position the transducer head assemblies 128 in correspondence with information storage tracks on the disk surfaces 118 on which information may be written or read.
- disk drive unit 102 has two major mechanical mechanisms that may be affected by cold temperatures.
- the first mechanism is actuator coil motor 132, where read/write heads are disposed, and the second mechanism is spindle motor assembly 126 .
- the problem that cold weather poses to the spindle motor assembly 126 is that, since a torque constant increases as the temperature thereof decreases, grease in the bearings thereof becomes more viscous thereby affecting the performance and ability to move or spin the disk drive.
- Current solutions known to the applicant for operation of disk drive unit 102 in cold temperatures known include attaching a resistive heater to the top cover 122 of the disk drive unit 102 , wherein the heater may be a resistive wire encapsulated in captan sheet.
- a thermistor, or equivalent temperature sensor may be attached to the disk drive unit 102 or adjacent thereto to thereby measure ambient temperature.
- the temperature of the disk drive unit 102 is measured before spin-up of the actuator coil motor 132 or spindle motor assembly 126 . If the measured temperature is below a predetermined minimum threshold temperature, current (either DC, AC or pulsed current) may be applied to the heater, and the temperature may be measured once more.
- the heater may be turned off, and power may be applied to the disk drive unit 102 .
- the actuator coil motor 132 and spindle motor assembly 126 while spinning and read/write accessing, should then provide sufficient heat dissipation to self-heat the disk drive.
- the heater may once again be turned on until temperature of the disk drive unit 102 equals or exceeds the minimum threshold temperature. This method requires a significant amount of power to completely heat up the entire disk drive unit 102 prior to spin up of both the actuator coil motor 132 and the spindle motor assembly 126 .
- Japanese application JP-A-05.166.291 discloses a disk drive motor assembly which is provided with a separate heater in the motor housing used to lower lubricant viscosity when the unit is operated in low temperatures.
- a method for preventing cold temperature induced damage to a spindle motor assembly of a direct access storage device comprising:
- a computer-readable medium on which program instructions are stored which program instructions are for a direct access storage device (DASD) controller, for preventing cold temperature induced damage to a spindle motor assembly of the direct access storage device (DASD) controlled by the controller, and comprise:
- a direct access storage device (DASD) processor that is able to prevent cold temperature induced damage to a spindle motor assembly of the DASD controlled thereby, said processor comprising:
- the applied current in any of the above aspects of the invention may be any one of a DC current, an AC current and a pulsed current.
- the chosen current may be applied to said windings of said spindle motor assembly for an amount of time required for the resistance of a respective one of said windings to reach a predetermined value corresponding to the applied current.
- the current may be applied to said windings of said spindle motor assembly for the amount of time required for the electrical resistance of a respective one of said windings to reach a predetermined value based on a table stored in a controller in said DASD.
- the values of resistance of said windings corresponding to current values stored in said table in said controller are predetermined by measuring changing resistance values in respective ones of said windings in accordance with a change in an amount of current or voltage applied to the respective winding.
- said current applied to said windings of said spindle motor assembly corresponds to the measured temperature of said DASD in a table stored in a controller of said DASD.
- said current may be applied to said windings for an amount of time required for the bearings of said spindle motor assembly to reach a predetermined minimum threshold temperature.
- the current could be utilised to excite the motor assembly windings to cause a restrained motion to the spindle motor assembly to produce a rise in temperature of the assembly.
- the restrained motion includes exciting of said phases so as to drive said spindle back-and-forth in a clockwise-counterclockwise manner at a predetermined rate of speed.
- said phases of said spindle motor assembly are excited until a bearing assembly of said spindle motor assembly reaches a minimum threshold temperature.
- said phases of said spindle motor assembly may be excited until the grease of said bearing assembly of said spindle motor assembly reaches a minimum threshold temperature.
- said temperature of said DASD may be measured at a thermistor on a card therein.
- said temperature of said DASD may be measured at a thermistor on said spindle motor assembly.
- the present invention overcomes the higher torque required due to the increased viscosity of the grease by localising the heating to the spindle motor assembly.
- the viscosity of the grease is reduced, and therefore the present invention enables self-heating by the disk drive during and after spin-up of the spindle motor assembly.
- a small current may be applied to one or more windings of a stator of a disk drive unit. Due to the electrical resistance within the windings, heat may be dissipated in the spindle motor assembly, and the dissipated heat may be conducted into the bearing and bearing grease. The grease may then warm to a minimum threshold temperature, thus providing a safe environment for normal operation of spindle motor assembly.
- the amount of time required for the current, including any one of a constant DC current AC current and pulsed current, to be applied to the windings of the stator of the disk drive unit may be determined utilising one of the following.
- a thermistor may be provided on a card of the disk drive unit.
- the controller first determines the disk drive card temperature prior to power up. If the temperature disk drive unit card is less than the minimum threshold temperature, the controller performs a table look up for the temperature that is closest to the measured temperature. The controller then applies a current to the stator windings for the given time as specified within the table prior to spin-up of the spindle motor assembly.
- the spin-up times would be experimentally determined for each motor by measuring the bearing temperature versus time of current injection into the winding(s) of the spindle motor stator.
- a closed loop feedback to the controller may be provided for the heating cycle.
- the thermistor attached to the spindle motor would be polled when initial power is applied to the disk drive unit. If the measured temperature is less than the minimum threshold temperature, the controller may apply a current, including any one of a DC, AC or pulsed current, to the spindle motor windings, and then continuously monitor the thermistor temperature until the threshold minimum thermistor temperature has been achieved to thereby enable normal spin-up of the spindle motor assembly.
- a second example embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first example embodiment described above except that, instead of applying current as a heating current, including any one of a DC, AC or pulsed current, the phases of spindle motor assembly are excited to rock the spindle motor assembly in a "back-and-forth" manner, while avoiding spindle fretting, such that heat is dissipated within the windings and, as a result, heat may be dissipated into the grease.
- the amount of time that the phases are rocked to generate heat to be dissipated within the windings may be determined by the exemplary methodologies described above.
- a current including any one of a small constant DC current, AC current or pulsed current, may be applied to one or more windings of stator 135 of the disk drive unit 102 . Due to the electrical resistance within the windings, heat may be dissipated in the spindle motor assembly 126 , and that heat may be conducted into the bearing and bearing grease.
- Bearing assembly 127 is shown in Fig. 3, which is a cross-sectional view of the spindle motor assembly 126 . The grease may then warm to a minimum threshold temperature, thus providing a safe environment for normal operation of spindle motor assembly 126 .
- the amount of time required for the current to be applied to the windings of the stator of the disk drive unit 102 may be determined utilising one of the following. First, in consideration of a voltage measurement of the spindle motor assembly 126 , experimental measurements may be made on spindle motor assembly 126 to determine the change in the resistance of the windings as they change temperature depending on the change in current or voltage on a given winding. Such measurements may be stored in a table within the control unit 114 , and once the given resistance value is obtained, normal operation of spindle motor assembly 126 may commence.
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective diagrammatic drawing of the rotating magnetic disk drive storage device 100, shown in Fig. 2, for use in accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention.
- Disk drive unit 102 includes rotatable disks 116 , which are rigidly attached to hub assembly or spindle 126A, which may be mounted on disk drive base 104 .
- Spindle 126A and disks 116 are driven by spindle motor assembly 126 at a constant rotational velocity.
- Spindle motor assembly 126 is not shown in Fig. 4.
- Data may be recorded on the surfaces 118 of disk 116.
- Actuator assembly 105 which may be situated to one side of the disk 116 , rotates through an arc about shaft 106 parallel to the access of spindle 126A , driven by electromagnetic motor 107 , to thereby position the transducer heads 128 .
- the cover 122 shown in Fig. 2, mates with base 104 to enclose and protect the disk and actuator assemblies.
- Electronic modules for controlling the operation of the drive and communicating with other devices, including a host computer, are mounted on circuit card 112 .
- Circuit card 112 may be mounted outside the enclosure formed by the base 104 and the cover 122 , although the circuit card 112 may also be mounted inside the enclosure, or a portion of the electronics may be mounted inside of the enclosure with other portions thereof mounted outside the enclosure.
- a plurality of head/suspension assemblies 130 are rigidly attached to prongs of actuator 105.
- An aerodynamic slider 109 with transducer heads 128 may be located at the end of each head/suspension assembly 108 which may be adjacent to disk surface 118 .
- the slider and transducer head assembly 109 may be "unloaded" when the disk drive unit 102 is not in use, and therefore actuator 105 may be rotated away from the centre of disk 116 so that a projecting finger 115 at the end of each suspension 108 engages a respective ramp surface of ramp assembly 117 , lifting the slider 109 away from the disk surface 116.
- Thermistor 120 is mounted outside the enclosure formed by base 104 and cover 122 , although, similar to circuit card 112 , the thermistor may be mounted inside such enclosure.
- Controller 114 may first determine the disk drive card temperature prior to power up. If the temperature disk drive unit card is less than the minimum threshold temperature, controller 114 may perform a table look up for the temperature that is closest to the measured temperature. Controller 114 may then apply a current to the stator windings for the time specified within the table prior to spin-up of the spindle motor assembly 126.
- the thermistor would be polled when initial power is applied to the disk drive unit 102 . If the measured temperature is less than the minimum threshold temperature, the controller 114 may apply a heating current to the spindle motor windings, and then continuously monitor the thermistor temperature until a threshold minimum thermistor temperature has been achieved to thereby enable normal spin-up of the spindle motor assembly 126 .
- the applied heating current may be any one of a DC, AC or pulsed current.
- the thermistor 120 indicates whether the temperature of the disk drive unit 102 is less than or equal to 0° Celsius in step 5. If the temperature is greater than 0° Celsius, the controller 114 receives the status that the heater is off in step 15, and the hard disk drive power-up routine begins in step 40. However, if the temperature is less than or equal to 0° Celsius, the controller 114 receives the return status that the heater is to be turned on in step 10, and the hard disk drive is heated for a predetermined amount of time in step 20. In step 25, it may once again be determined whether the temperature is less than 0° Celsius.
- the controller 114 receives the status that the disk drive is not ready, and the power-on routine is ended in step 35. However, if the temperature is 0° Celsius or more, as determined in step 25, the hard disk drive power-up routine in step 40 commences. In step 45, a determination may be made as to whether the hard disk drive is ready. If yes, the corresponding status may be reported to the controller 114 , and the power-on routine is ended in step 60. However, if the disk drive is not ready, such status may be reported to the controller 114 in step 65, and the power-up routine is ended in step 70.
- the spin-up times may be experimentally determined for each motor by measuring the bearing temperature versus time of current injection into the windings of the spindle motor stator.
- a closed-loop feedback to the controller 114 may be provided for the heating cycle.
- the thermistor 120 indicates whether the temperature of the disk drive unit 102 is less than or equal to 0E Celsius in step 605. If the temperature is greater than 0° Celsius, the controller 114 receives the status that the heater is off in step 615, and the hard disk drive power-up routine begins in step 640. However, if the temperature is less than or equal to 0° Celsius, the controller 114 receives the return status that the heater is to be turned on in step 610 for the expected or estimated amount of time for sufficient heating, and the hard disk drive is heated for the estimated amount of time, X minutes, in step 620.
- step 622 a determination is made as to whether the actual amount of time of heating is less than estimated amount of time X. If yes, it may once again be determined whether the temperature is less than 0° Celsius, as in step 625. Then, if the temperature is less than 0° Celsius, the determination is once again made as to whether the actual amount of time of heating is less than the estimated amount of time X. If the temperature is not less than 0° Celsius, then the HDD power up routine in step 640 commences. In step 645, a determination may be made as to whether the hard disk drive is ready. If yes, the corresponding status may be reported to the controller 114 in step 650, and the power-on routine is ended in step 660.
- step 665 if the disk drive is not ready, such status may be reported to the controller 114 in step 665, and the power-up routine is ended in step 670. But, if the actual time of heating is not less then the estimated time X in step 622, the controller 114 receives the status that the heater is off in step 623, and the further status that the disk drive is not ready in step 630, and the power-on routine is ended in step 635.
- a second example embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first example embodiment described above except that, instead of applying a DC, AC or pulsed heating current, the phases of spindle motor assembly 126 are excited to rock the spindle motor assembly 126 in a back-and-forth" manner such that heat may be dissipated within the windings and, as a result, heat may be dissipated into the grease.
- spindle motor assembly 126 is a brushless DC motor having an electric stator with windings and a permanent magnetic rotor. The stator windings are connected in a three-phase Y configuration having a central tap, although other numbers of phases or other configurations such as a delta configuration are possible.
- stator windings 301-309 are arranged with three poles per phase connected in series, for a total of nine poles, although the number of poles may vary.
- the three phases of the stator windings are driven by respective drive transistors in the spindle motor driver. All poles of a given phase are driven by a common drive circuit on the associated phase line, e.g., poles 301, 304 and 307 are connected in series and driven by phase line A.
- poles 301, 304 and 307 are connected in series and driven by phase line A.
- Figure 5 represents a typical disk drive spindle motor configuration.
- the specific configuration of phases, poles and other matters is not critical to the present invention.
- a disk constraining mechanism as described herein could be used in a disk drive having any of various spindle motor configurations.
- the amount of time that the phases are rocked to generate heat to be dissipated within the windings may be determined by the exemplary methodologies described above.
- the method embodiments of the present invention may be applied to the various apparatus embodiments of the present invention, which have been described above.
- the method embodiments may be applied to any DASD computer to prevent cold temperature induced damage to a spindle motor assembly of the direct access storage device (DASD).
- DASD direct access storage device
